Digital Camera News, Reviews and Tips

SmugMug had a packed booth at PhotoPlus 2011. There were a number of SmugMug staff members on hand who were offering support to members on the iMacs in their booth, as well as showing off site features to prospective customers. [Read more…]

Although it has offered video uploads and embeds for over three years, SmugMug has just added the ability to sell video downloads for pro members. If you’re a pro member and accustomed to pricing your wares, video download pricing works just like any other digital download products.

I’ve been a SmugMug user for a little over 4 years now. And, if you’ve been reading Photography Bay for a while, you know that I’ve been a big fan since day one.

While I like some apps on my iPhone, I have always stuck to the free apps. I really hate being nickled and dimed for every little app that comes along.

You can get $5 off the first year by using a referral code (mine’s 7jCtURK05RxC if anyone is in need – in the interest of disclosure, I get a credit toward my annual fees as well).

Ok, so you know I like SmugMug and SmugWallet obviously has something to do with SmugMug.
